but that was worse in some ways than katrina was the gdp event. because katrina kind of localized. it was a gross domestic product event in that there was so much rebuilding that had to be done that there were just months and months and months of lumber going up, shingle going up, roof tile going up, appliance going up. from what you hear with 60 million people, this could be a gdp event. i know the futures are down. look, there's terrible tragedy coming if everybody's right. but there will be insurance that pays off billions. and that will go back into the u.s. economy. i'm not looking for silver lining when there is the lethality of the storm. be aware, they weren't looking for it either in andrew. then it was just months and months of better gdp. >> that's an excellent point. joining us this morning, former new york governor george pataki joining us on the cnbc newsline. good to have you. good morning. >> nice being on with you. >> i assume you heard part of the mayor's presser. normally when you're about eight, nine hours ahead of landfall, you get a little more clarity here. n

this is the third hurricane i've covered in my lifetime, andrew, katrina and now this. we are at the point where the population gets furious and they turn on the government. the government can just not handle the huge, huge logistical requirements that happen after a storm like this. could this actually turn on the president at some point here? >> reporter: i don't think so. i think what the president has had the opportunity to do is show americans that he was involved in an effort that the country was rallying behind and do his job in a way that got praise by the keynote speaker at the republican convention, chris christie, very tough critic of the president otherwise. so i don't think many voters are going to blame president obama for what's going on right now, and leave aside the fact that the states in which the difficulties are occurring db new york, new jersey, connecticut are all reliantly democratic states. what is much more important to the outcome of this election, michelle, is what's going on behind me at this afl-cio phone bank where union volunteers are mak
